Gustave Lodt, forty years old, and Jean Marken, also aged forty, probably buried alive.
The witness testifies that he personally proceeded to exhume these two bodies, and that he afterward buried them in the town cemetery.
The village of Rethy, near Turnhout, was the object of devastation and shooting during the day of Aug. 22 by seventeen cavalrymen who had penetrated into the village. A young woman of fifteen years was killed by a bullet.
Still more horrible crimes, if that were possible, have been committed by the German troops on account of their defeat at the hands of the Belgian Army before Malines. The City of Louvain, with its artistic and scientific riches, has not been spared.
New reports will be submitted very shortly.
